powerpc/cacheinfo: add cacheinfo_teardown, cacheinfo_rebuild

2020-01-29T09:24:26Z

[ Upstream commit d4aa219a074a5abaf95a756b9f0d190b5c03a945 ] Allow external callers to force the cacheinfo code to release all its references to cache nodes, e.g. before processing device tree updates post-migration, and to rebuild the hierarchy afterward. CPU online/offline must be blocked by callers; enforce this. Fixes: 410bccf97881 ("powerpc/pseries: Partition migration in the kernel") Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch Reviewed-by: Gautham R.

powerpc: Rewrite sysfs processor cache info code

2009-01-08T05:25:10Z

The current code for providing processor cache information in sysfs has the following deficiencies: - several complex functions that are hard to understand - implicit recursion (cache_desc_release -> kobject_put -> cache_desc_release) - explicit recursion (create_cache_index_info) - use of two per-cpu arrays when one would suffice - duplication of work on systems where CPUs share cache Also, when I looked at implementing support for a shared_cpu_map attribute, it was pretty much impossible to handle hotplug without checking every single online CPU's cache_desc list and fixing things up... not that this is a hot path, but it would have introduced O(n^2)-ish behavior during boot. Addressing this involved rethinking the core data structures used, which didn't lend itself to an incremental approach. This implementation maintains a "forest" (potentially more than one tree) of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology. Cache objects are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. A per-cpu array is used mainly for sysfs-related bookkeeping; the objects in the array just point to the appropriate points in the forest. This maintains compatibility with the existing code and includes some enhancements: - Implement the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for enabling userspace to discover the system's overall cache topology. - Use cache-block-size properties if cache-line-size is not available. I chose to place this implementation in a new file since it would have roughly doubled the size of sysfs.c, which is already kind of messy.
